| 20110136194 | METHOD FOR INCREASING ETHANOL YIELD FROM GRAIN - A process for increasing ethanol yield from grain comprising mixing grain, water and enzyme to for a grain-based liquid medium. The grain-based liquid medium is passed through a cavitation device at a velocity and pressure capable of generating a cavitation activation energy of at least 0.4 kJ per kilogram of grain-based liquid medium to enhance the activity of the enzyme and increase ethanol yield. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20100175309 | PROCESS FOR IMPROVED BIODIESEL FUEL - A process for preparing biodiesel having improved filterability characteristics including inducing transesterification of a triglyceride feedstock with cavitation to form an intermediate reaction product. Glycerol by product is separated from the intermediate reaction product before finishing the transesterification reaction in a pressurized reaction tank to yield a biodiesel reaction product. The biodiesel reaction product can be further purified by removing glycerol. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20100112125 | APPARATUS & METHOD FOR INCREASING ALCOHOL YIELD FROM GRAIN - A method comprising applying a controlled flow cavitation apparatus to an alcohol production process in order to increase alcohol yield. A grain-based liquid medium comprising grain and a liquid carrier can be passed through a controlled flow cavitation apparatus at a velocity capable of generating a hydrodynamic cavitation zone where the grain size can be reduced. One or more controlled flow cavitation apparatuses can be applied at various points of an alcohol production process, such as a starch-to-ethanol production process. | 05-06-2010 |
| 20090043118 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING BIODIESEL FROM FATTY ACID FEEDSTOCK - A method comprising applying a controlled flow cavitation apparatus to a biodiesel production process in order to increase fatty acid alkyl ester yield. A feedstock comprising free fatty acids can be passed through a controlled flow cavitation apparatus at a velocity capable of generating a hydrodynamic cavitation zone where the free fatty acids can be esterified. One or more controlled flow cavitation apparatuses can be applied at various points of a biodiesel production process. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090038210 | METHOD FOR REDUCING FREE FATTY ACID CONTENT OF BIODIESEL FEEDSTOCK - A method comprising applying controlled flow cavitation apparatuses and holding tanks to a pretreatment process in order to reduce the free fatty acid content of a biodiesel feedstock. A feedstock comprising a high content of free fatty acids can be passed through controlled flow cavitation apparatuses and holding tanks at a velocity capable of generating hydrodynamic cavitation zones and subsequent dwell times where the free fatty acid content can be reduced to below 2%. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090008295 | DESULFURIZATION PROCESS AND SYSTEMS UTILIZING HYDRODYNAMIC CAVITATION - Processes and systems associated with hydrodynamic cavitation-catalyzed oxidation of sulfur-containing substances in a fluid are described. In one example method, carbonaceous fluid is combined with at least one oxidant to form a mixture and then the mixture is flowed through at least one local constriction in a flow-through chamber at a sufficient pressure and flow rate to create hydrodynamic cavitation in the flowing mixture having a power density of between about 3,600 kWatts/cm | 01-08-2009 |
